Cosmic medallion portrait of GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW, a Golden Retriever
AI portrait
About this portrait

This portrait was algorithmically built from this dog's genome: their genotype at 8 morphology loci (coat length, curl, color, ear set, body size, head shape, skull, furnishings) plus their position within the CanVAS Founder atlas. The same dog always reproduces the same portrait. A different dog with different alleles gets a different portrait.

GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW

GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW is a Golden Retriever from the GRLS research cohort. One of 18,477 dogs in the atlas.

About GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW

GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW sits near the center of the Golden Retriever cluster - genetically very typical for the breed.

  • Predicted large by the six body-size genes the atlas reads (IGF1, HMGA2, SMAD2, LCORL, STC2, ADAMTS17).
  • Standard leg length. No chondrodysplasia retrogene variant.
  • Carrier of the RSPO2 wire-coat variant (single copy).

GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW's breed

GRLS_grlsZ4DK0WW sits firmly in the Golden Retriever cluster.

Breed similarity from non-negative least squares against 91 breed centroids in PCA-256 space, corrected for atlas sample-size imbalance. Without correction, Goldens (22% of the atlas) leak into every dog's raw NNLS breakdown; with it, the bias falls out. Raw fractions stay in the dataset for re-derivation. Methodology.
